    Strawberry Margarita
    Kimberly V.

    Came here for a quick drink with my cousin. Quick service, bartender was a funny guy. The drinks were good, strong. This is the type of bar you'd come to after you just found out your wife was cheating on you and the child you raised till he was 26, wasn't yours to begin with. It's that kind of dark and sad vibe in there.

    Brought in the New Year (2025) in this lovely establishment. Nice music selection playing, a pool table with a long waiting list of people ( proving the demand) and a lot of nice people. They handed out champagne at midnight to everyone in the bar and celebratory hats too to add to the celebration. Couldn't have picked a better spot to bring in 2025! The bar was a bit crowded but what do you expect. Met a couple of nice people and brought in the New Year surrounded by lovely people. I definitely recommend this place for a nice hangout spot to bring a friend for drinks.

    This place reminds me of a 70's man cave. The bar has Kama Sutra decals lining the ceiling, a jukebox, the requisite dog playing poker picture, and a free pool table. For the pool table, you must place your name on a list. Way in the back, you will find an alcove with shag carpeted ceilings, mirrored panels and the centerpiece is a painting of Burt Reynolds from the famous Cosmopolitan centerfold. We came here because we were intrigued by the name of the place. It did not disappoint. They have cheap beer and drinks and looks to be dog friendly. We had a Tequila shot here and enjoyed the ambiance. Love the shirt on the bartender that day..see pic

    Neat divey kinda joint. Pool table, inappropriate wallpaper, the whole nine yards. Came here for a pre-dinner drink with my partner and enjoyed the experience. They've got a bunch of solid beer on draft that was $1 off until 7 for happy hour. They also had some draft cocktails ($13, not happy hour) and wine as well. I chose to get the draft margarita to try and the talea sour while it was still HH.

    Days before omicron overtook the entire city I was sitting outdoors at Horses and Divorces drinkin beer n enjoying life with my boosted friends. Memories.... We ended up here precisely because I didn't want to be indoors and I'm sure glad I wasn't -- while they checked vaccine status coming in absolutely nobody inside had a mask on at all and it was packed to high Heaven. It was so loud I had to briefly take my mask off to order at the bar cause the bartenders couldn't hear me. But at least the bartenders were all friendly and the prices were average to solid -- there's a Lone Star and a shot special that's worth your $6 or whatever it cost. Anyhow the real reason I'm writing this is because past the bar with Kama Sutra decals around the ceiling and past the booths and past the pool table, there's this weird little nook with mirrored panels and a shag carpet ceiling and a giant painting of Burt Reynolds that is just really worth the ticket price* (*there is none it's a bar) alone. Like really looking forward to a post COVID world where I can sit in back there and stare at Burt and sigh wistfully. You know? That's the future I dream of. My new year wish.

    Cool spot. Tried the tiramisu drink. It was dessert in a glass. I enjoyed it. I'll visit again if I'm in the area.

    Rude bartender
    Liz H.

    Bartender was extremely rude.. ignored me for like 10 minutes straight. I finally asked, "can you take my order please", she continued by saying I can leave and that I was not gonna be served. She was the only one bartending so I understand it was busy and maybe she was overwhelmed however that response was unnecessary. Extremely rude and unwelcoming .. will not come back

    I was really excited to go here but ended up pretty disappointed. Your girl was not feeling this spot. I was excited about the Burt Reynolds memorabilia, 70s theme Horses and Divorces had going on. They just opened in February and when I went, didn't even have a Yelp listing yet in May. It was a fairly standard semi-dive type of spot but had a respectable beer list. In a place like this, the service makes or breaks it for me...and service was just terrible sadly. So, it broke it for me. Pass on going back again.

After a nice stop and a secret garden in west Greenwich, I decided to use the points I had racked up and suggested a beverage at the Spaniard. It was agreed upon, in part as i suggested "they probably have a nice bathroom". Of which they did. It helped they had a nice house drink menu too. My gal found something she would like, and she did. After a fun drink off their menu I got a scotch. Old Putney 12 year. Actually the bartender came up and said they were out, would I want a 18 year or 20 year, something like that. it was a bit more money but it was he last beverage of the weekend trip so I got it. My Lourd it was good. If we had time I would have gotten an Oban they had, but we were off. But we will be back, maybe this year. And if I have racked up enough points in the area, I will suggest this excellent whisky bar.

Walking through the cold streets, I stumbled upon The Spaniard which has quickly become one of my favorite NY destinations! We were there for a quick 30 hour trip to experience the "Holiday Magic". After a long day of travel, we just needed something good. We arrived and they accommodated us in a back booth tucked behind the bar, perfect! Our waiter was a delight and very responsive. The martini was kick-ass and our waiter was kind enough to offer us many recommendations. We landed on Charbroiled Oysters, Steak Tartare, and French Onion Dip. Someone slap me, I'm drooling while I write this review over a year later. Seriously, phenomenal. Every bite was amazing! We cleared the table and manged a few cocktails during our time with The Spaniard. If you are ever in the West Village, stop by, you won't be sorry! Thanks me later, actually!

The highlights for me were the wild mushrooms & rice cakes as well as the Caesar salad - loved the use of nori in the salad and would definitely come back for the mushrooms. The chicken cutlet and chicken dumplings were fine but I probably wouldn't order them again. The wait staff weren't super attentive nor super warm, but they were efficient when we asked for water refills, etc. There was ample standing room at the bar while we waited for our friends, but the table/booth that we sat at was super narrow, I was knocking knees with my friend all night and generally felt squished.

They were nice enough to combined the two bookings and give us one table when we checked in. I got the chinatown no 5. I was born in sf chinatown and my last name in chinese is the number 5, so I figured it was meant to be. Very cute presentation. The cocktail is in a bottle, so you end up with more than one pour. Nice since the rest of my party could try. I did have another cocktail afterwards, but I cannot remember what it was for the life of me. I enjoyed sipping on it tho. Our server was sooo sweet. Friendly, attentive, and informative. The cocktails here are definitely creative, so she was very helpful in guiding us towards what we may like and describing the different drinks.

Not surprising, then, that it was pretty packed by the time we finished dinner, at 10:30ish. Serptentine has a solid cocktail list, one that definitely reflects the West Village sensibility. The drinks are all clear variations of classics (ie., martini, negroni, espresso martini, margarita, old fashioned, etc.) but with some added intrigue. All well-executed and made efficiently, which is very impressive during weekend primetime. If you're not nearby I wouldn't make a trip to the area just for Serpentine, but it's a fantastic option if you live/work in the neighborhood and/or are getting a meal in the area and are looking for a bar to start or end at. As I mentioned, it was relatively busy when we arrived here. There weren't any open seats initially but the host said we could hang around the bar for a bit, as he expected a table to open soon. It was probably 10 minutes before we were sat which is basically like being sat immediately in New York time. And generally, the staff here were great -- very personable and accommodating, quick service, only praise in that area. The vibes here are cozy but lively, giving more of a friend hangout than a date (it's also relatively loud so not ideal for conversation if you're sitting across from someone at a table, versus standing and mingling or sitting on bar stools). If you're a dirty martini person you are in luck here, because the Serpentini (grey goose vodka, dry vermouth, olive brine, pepperocini liqueur) is unlike any other. And I get dirty martinis pretty much everywhere I go, so that's saying something. Why is it so unique, you may ask? Well, the pepperocini liqueur is a nice touch and props to whoever decided it was necessary to make such a thing. But the real game changer is the sidecar. You may be thinking -- how is a sidecar unique? Well, it's not just any sidecar...it is not filled with more martini but simply PURE FILTHY BRINE. I mean, if you're ordering a dirty martini, you probably would take a bath in olive brine, brush your teeth with olive brine -- hell, maybe even your contact solution is just olive brine. Want to make your martini dirtier as you drink it? Serpentine has you covered. It is so simple and obvious yet I've never experienced it before. And, because I've never met someone who loves dirty martinis who doesn't also drool over blue cheese-stuff olives, the Serpentini's got that too. Though less exciting and groundbreaking, Mezcal Negroni (ilegal mezcal, campari, averna amaro, lo-fi gentian amaro) is also solid. I love a mezcal negroni and this one is relatively straightforward, just a subtle variation with a few different amaros to add some complexity and herbal notes. A fun and versatile neighborhood spot. It's in prime location so I imagine to rent is absurd, so fingers crossed that it sticks around!
